From the Plainfield Sun [Plainfield, Waushara Co. WI], Friday March 21,
1902, Page 5

Thursday evening, March 13, 1902, George EACHOR, one of the most respected
citizens of the Town of Leola, Adams Co., passed away. His death was very
sudden, as only the Saturday before he was in Plainfield doing business.
Mr. EACHOR was born at Boonville, state of New York, July 17, 1857. He came
to Wisconsin with his parents at the age of 14, and with them settled near
Mosquito Bluff, in Portage County. Spending some time in Nebraska, he
returned to this state in 1896, to the place which was his home when he
died.February 10, 1878, he was married to Nancy APPLEBEE. To this union
were born three children, two sons and one daughter. There is left to mourn
his loss his aged parents, Josiah and Martha EACHOR, his wife and two sons,
William and Charles. When a young man, he united with the Methodist church
and in that faith he lived for many years, when he united with the Baptist,
along with his wife and parents. Mr. EACHOR spared no pains to make
preparations for both time and eternity.Just a few months before he died he
united with the Modern Woodmen of America. The funeral was in charge of the
Plainfield Lodge of Modern Woodmen, who conducted their ritualistic
ceremony at the grave. The funeral was Sunday, many of the friends and
Modern Woodmen going to the house and escorting the remains to the town
hall at Campbell's Corners, where the service was conducted by Rev. M. E.
Bailey, of the Baptist church of Plainfield. The interment followed at the
Plainfield cemetery. Mr. EACHOR was well known and greatly respected as an
honorable Christian gentleman. He served one term as Justice of the Peace
and two terms as Assessor of the Town of Leola, filling the offices with
credit to himself and satisfaction to his neighbors. Mr. EACHOR's ready
hand and helpful influence will be greatly missed, especially among the
residents of the Town of Leola.
